By 1907, when the Ordnance Survey recorded the area at six inches to the mile, the eastern half of the site had been absorbed so thoroughly into the agricultural landscape that it was mapped simply as a division between fields. The western portion, however, retained enough of its original shape to be recognised for what it is: the remains of a rath, an enclosed farmstead of early medieval Ireland, where a family or small community once lived within a low earthen bank that separated their domestic world from the land outside.

The enclosure is oval, measuring roughly 53 metres northwest to southeast and 42 metres northeast to southwest, making it a moderately sized example of its type. The defining bank, which runs from the northeast around the south and southwest, varies between 2.6 and 4.5 metres in width. At the northeastern edge, a shallow fosse survives, a ditch dug to reinforce the bank above it, here roughly 2 metres wide and just under half a metre deep. A small field attached to the site at the northeast may be an original feature, perhaps a stock enclosure or garden plot associated with the rath's working life, though the centuries have left that question open. There are no visible entrances remaining, and nothing survives above ground of whatever structures once occupied the interior.
